Ive had it with the system...

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY. IT IS RAINING. .....I entered the world of unemployment in June of this year. Im at the stage now ill sell the cat for a few euros.

I became ill, very ill so I lost my job & I cannot return to any work for the time being.. Yeah like loads of others. I dont understand the system, i dont know many in the system to ask . Ive googled etc followed the rules, queued up etc etc.

Last night I had the rudest guy on from BOI over my credit card in arrears of €53. I have eplained over & over to them my situation but they are now being threatening.

I dont have €53 in fact I dont have €1. no word of a lie. So this morning I ring the HSE regarding my medical card as we are all ill & need a GP. They have my application 12 weeks. 7yr old has laryngitis, 6 yr old I actually think has swine flu & I have no meds left & am in agony. My GP is the kindest man in the world & has demanded card or no card that I am not paying him & he will call up this afternoon. ( seriously so kind). The HSE told me they lost my application. Now they can see me on " the system" but have lost everything including all the originals you must send ( maintenance agreement, seperation agreement, lease on home, etc etc) so I must resubmit. The GP's secretary is now trying to jump hoops for me with them. They told me to deliver it myself - I did that the last time, they accepted & lost it. I cant drive now so will call on a fairy godmother to help.
Then I rang the back to school footwear people. I have actually rang every day for 2 weeks now & this is the 1st day they answered phone. No we dont have your application. The scheme is now closed so nothing you can do .. Thats €400 I would be entitled to had you not lost my application. Answer basicly was tough - go tell your welfare officer about it.
I feel like a 5 year old being bullied in school. I feel like im stuck in a warp where its all going at snails pace & im writing..the story
So I have gathered the HSE is incompenant. But if they lost 2 forms on me alone how many more have they lost in the country. The HSE is over the whole health system. Im ill & too ill to battle anymore. Im tired & sick & im battling. How many more are in the same situation? The amount of millions being pumped into this black hole & all I need is €53 just to get BOI off my case............. THE END !
So thats 2 forms to the HSE that hey have lost.

i had the same problem with the banks except i own 4 different ones about 30,000. just tell them you can't make the repayments agreed. simple as that. agree to pay a certain amount. doesn't matter how little it is. as long as you are paying something, they won't go down the legal route. it's when you pay nothing and dodge their phone calls, they come down hard on you. they'll ring every few months putting pressure o n you to increase the amount. tell them nothing has changed so you can'y pay anymore. if your feeling particularly cheeky, tell them you have no one to bail you out.

Hi Mods

Please unban him/her. I thought it was so funny - I was having a tearful rant & a violin was the perfect tonic. It stopped me crying into my cornflakes for 5 minutes. I feel awful they are banned....
